On this episode of the Soma Collective podcast, Gary sits down with Peter before his jiu-jitsu competition to explore the shadow of striving to achieve. They discuss how competition in any context can bring up struggles around desire, ego, mental/physical challenge and fears. It can be difficult to let go, manage our self-talk and reframe our thinking. This cast is not just for athletes. We challenge ourselves in the gym, at work, in relationships and so much more. The challenges of facing ourselves with an honest, open mind are relevant to all of us. Each of us has a shadow side, a space of resistance and fear that can influence our lives and relationships in unexpected ways. The question is, how do we relate to it? How do we navigate the paradox of pushing ourself to our edge while allowing ourself time to recover? How do we approach our own shadows? How do we invite the light and compassion to shine on our challenges?
